About this ebook
From the bestselling author of Jaws comes a firsthand guide to one of the most feared—and often misunderstood—animals: sharks!
In direct and accessible prose, Peter Benchley sets the record straight about the many types of sharks (including the ones that pose a genuine threat to us), the behavior of sharks and other sea creatures we fear, the odds against an attack, and how to improve them even further. He also teaches us how to swim safely in the ocean by reading the tides and currents and respecting all the inhabitants. Here are the lessons Peter has learned, the mistakes he has made, the danger he has faced—and the spectacular sights he has seen in the world’s largest environment. The book includes 16 pages of black-and-white photographs.

this book is a book I read last year and it really made me even more fascinated with sharks. Everyday I think about this book. I read it last year and I was amazed at all the great pictures, and stories, and information it gave in the book. I was very surprised at the ways he talked about sharks in his books and this book.
I love this book and it is a must reader if you haven't read the book yet. I had to read it when I saw it.

I give this book a five star rating but I wish they would do southern Australia in a row not with jaws in the middle
